Features

1. Full source code included

• Completely written in Microsoft Visual C++
• Choose between component and source code when implementing Polar Crypto into your application;
• You can further develop and / or customize the products;
• It is included at the regular component price;

  Source code license agreement

2. Encryption/Decryption

• Encrypt files, strings, buffers (Encrypt Method, Decrypt Method)
• Use symmetric (AES and Twofish) or asymmetric keys (RSA)
• Use public and private RSA keys for encryption/decryption
• 128 to 256-bit symmetric keys for AES and Twofish
• 512, 1024 and 2048-bit keys for asymmetric RSA encryption

• Sign your data with the RSA private key (Sign Method)
• Verify signed data (VerifySignature Method)

• Produce a hash value using the SHA-1 & SHA-2 algorithms

• Set the Streaming Property to TRUE if you do not have a single data block

• Use the built-in random data generator (Blum, Blum and Shub algorithm)
• Set your own seed for an algorithm (RandomGeneratorSeed Property)

• Convert your data to the Base64 or Hex format with the CryptoData Object
• Manipulate the original binary data

• Use the OnError Event to detect any errors in the encryption/decryption process
• ProcessingStatus Event will tell you the current status of the operation
